New Evidence In Ronald Greene's Death At Hands Of Louisiana Police
Newsy
Excerpts from the personal journals of the police superintendent show what Col. Kevin Reeves was thinking in the early days after Greene's death.
Within days of the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene, when body-camera video captured white troopers stunning, beating and dragging the Black motorist, the head of the Louisiana State Police wrote a stark note about the case in his journal: “Realize there is a problem — must address immediately.”
But well over a year went by — 462 days to be exact — before Col. Kevin Reeves opened an internal investigation into the actions of the troopers involved, including one who was recorded boasting he “beat the ever-living f—- out of” Greene.
